I headed off to Newnham to check on the progress of 'punt swan' and look what she's got! She looks very caring but she promptly trod on the neck of one and it took him a little while to extract himself from the nest and follow her into the stream. They have a nice safe channel to learn in but the punt boys tell me that every year they fall over the weir and have to be rescued. In other news Monty didn't want to get out of the car because on Tuesday it thundered.... Had a good chat with the vet and have tranquillisers for the May Ball fireworks and a desensitisation DVD...
So proud....it's lovely to know they are a protected species but are they in danger from other prey......herons for instance, such a scary time for mum.
You can put special scent that calms dogs down in the plugs of a room too! This is an adorable photo but it sounds as if they have a scary upbringing! fav
